RNC Spokesman Michael Ahrens told TheDC, “Tulsi Gabbard has an even bigger problem than her lack of experience – it’s that she has no base of support. Liberals think she’s too conservative, conservatives think she’s too liberal, and just about everyone thinks her coziness with Bashar al-Assad is disturbing.”

Leading up to the 2016 Democratic primaries, Gabbard served under Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz as vice-chairwoman but resigned to fully support Bernie Sanders’ campaign.

The Hawaii Congresswoman previously accused the president of being “Saudi Arabia’s bitch” after being unhappy with the president’s response to the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

She also angered members from both parties in early 2017, when she met with Assad during a fact-finding trip to Syria.

Gabbard will be vying for the Democratic nomination against a litany of other Democrats. So far, the biggest name to throw her hat in the ring is Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who made the announcement slightly over a week ago that she had launched an exploratory committee. Others who are considering running for president include California Rep. Kamala Harris, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Sanders.
